* In the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "Stratagem". Captain Archer tries to get information out of an alien by convincing him that they are now friends and that years have gone by.

The small touches making the simulation seem real include tattooing both their arms with prison barcodes.
* Subverted in another ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode, where Riker thinks he is a victim of one (he is supposedly in the future but his supposed wife is a woman of his dreams, that he knows never existed outside the holodeck. The hostile aliens reveal themselves when he calls them out on it. However, as it turns out [[spoiler:the aliens aren't real either - there is just one alien, highly psychic and very lonely, keeping Riker in a LotusEaterMachine to have some company and conjuring things from his mind - the whole espionage plot was accidently created by Riker's own fears.]]
